Video Signal Path Explanation
HY/HZ Board
Figure 13
The "HY/ HZ" board is equipped with one Component input, one Composite input
and one S-Video input. The Composite and S-Video inputs are applied to a
switching circuit, which is controlled by the system control IC, located on the D1-
Board. The switch select command is sent via the SCL3 and SDA3 lines. After
signal selection the composite or S-Video signals are amplified, buffered, and
applied to a 3D comb filter inside IC3803. The 3D Comb filter converts the
Composite input signals to Y, Pb, and Pr component signals. The output of
IC3804 is applied to the D1 Board via pins 1, 3, and 5 of the connector H2/D2.
Individual amplifiers buffered the Component input signals that are then applied
to the D1-Board via pins 15, 17, and 19 of the connector H2/D2. Vertical and
Horizontal Sync signals are also amplified on this board before they are applied
to the D1 Board.
16
HX Board
Figure 14
PC RGB Signals are input to the HX Board. The RGB signals as well as the
vertical and horizontal sync signals are amplified by a series of transistor
amplifiers. The RS232C communications bus line is also connected on this
board. The RS-232C connection is provided so that operation changes can be
made via PC. An example of an application of this port would be remote turn on
of the unit for a kiosk or similar display.
The outputs of the HX board are applied to the D1 board via connector HX1/D3.
17
D1 Board
Figure 15
After the input signals are amplified by the HY/HZ and HX boards the desired
signal is selected. The microprocessor sends the command via the IIC bus to the
input select switch (IC3001). The video switch selects from one of the three
inputs. The component video signal output from the video switch is amplified and
converted to digital. An optional Digital Visual Interface (DVI) input bypasses the
A/D process as DVI information is already in the digital format.
Concurrently, the desired sync signals are selected and applied to the Sync
Processor. NTSC and Component sync signals are stripped from the Green
video component while the PC sync is applied directly. The Sync Processor
combines the On-Screen Display Sync signal with the input sync and converts
them to match the video format.
The corresponding audio signal is selected by an Audio switch and applied to the
Z board for further amplification
18
DVI Interface
Figure 16
19
Figure 18 shows an
example of the DVI
interface. It permits direct
connection of the digital
video signal to the Format
converter. This bypasses
the D/A and A/D process
providing the better Figure 18
quality picture.
Installation of the DVI interface requires removal of the HY/HZ Board and
replacing it with an optional DVI interface board.
20
Sync Process
Figure 19
The vertical and horizontal sync signal paths are slightly different depending on
the Source signal.
The A/D converter (IC9007) shapes the analog sync signal to clean digital pulses
prior to input to the format converter.
21
D1 Board
Figure 20
D1-board consists of the Analog and Digital signal process. It also contains the
Discharge control and Microprocessor control block. Supply voltages of 13.5V,
5V, Standby 5V, 3.3V, and 1.8 V operate the D1-board. The input RGB video
signals are at 0.7Vp-p. Video signals in the form of parallel data and the control
signals for the data drive circuit are output.
22
D2 Board
Figure 21
The D2 board provides the scan, sustain and data drive signals. The scan pulses
are output to the SC board. The sustain pulses are output to the SS board. The
data drive signals are output to the C1, C2, C3 and C4 boards. The C1 board
drives the Upper right portion of the panel; the C2 board drives the upper left
portion. The C3 and C4 boards drive the lower right and left portions of the panel
respectively.
23
D2 Board details

24
SC Board Explanation
Figure 23
25
Figure 24
The SC Board consists of buffers and drivers used to generate the scan signals
to the panel. The buffers provide isolation between the D2 board and the drivers.
Connector SC20 provides the drive signals (140V, 100V and 18V). Connector
SC21 provides trigger signals to switch the FET transistors. The D2 board
switches the FETs on and off to create the distinctive scan signal. Each trigger
signal switches a drive FET creating a portion of the waveform. For example,
applying the CPH signal to the 140V FET creates the peak portion of the
waveform, see figure 23.
26
Figure 25
27
SS Board Explanation
Figure 26
After the video signal is processed on the D2 board, the sustain and erase pulses
are output to the SS board. The erase pulse is output at the beginning of each
scan period. The pulse is applied to the SS2 and SS3 boards to remove the
previous charge for the upper and lower sections of the display panel.
The sustain pulses are also developed on the D2 board and are applied after the
scan periods.
28
Figure 27
Figure 28
29
The Sustain pulse is developed using a similar circuit as the Scan Pulse. A series
of specifically timed pulses are applied to FET drivers creating the distinctive
sustain pulse. The drivers switch the voltages (150V, 155V and 175V) at selected
intervals determined by the D2 board. The basic waveform remains constant but
the exact number of sustain pulses is determined by the amount of luminance
required, see figure 28.

Power Supplies
Standby Power Supply
Figure 29
The standby power supply provides the necessary DC voltage for the system
control Microprocessor, Reset circuit and the EEPROM. D421 rectifies the
incoming AC Voltage and applies it to the transformer T402 and the standby B+
control circuit IC400. The output pulses of IC400 are then applied to the primary
side of transformer T402. Diode D439 rectifies the AC output at pin 15 of the
secondary of T402 to create STB (Standby) voltage for the system control circuit.
The AC output at pin 14 of the secondary of T402 is rectified by diode D440 to
create the DC voltage for the power relays. Transistor Q418 creates the ground
path for power relay RL401. Transistor Q417 provides the ground path for the In
Rush Current relay RL400. The Opto-coupler D431 provides feedback to the
STB control circuit for voltage regulation.
31
Main Power Supply
Figure 30
The power factor control circuit operates like a boost regulator. The incoming AC
voltage, after being switched on, enters the rectifier D402 where it is converted to
DC. The Power Factor Control (PFC) circuit converts the DC level to 400Vdc.
The negative side of the bridge rectifier D402 connects to ground via a resistor.
As current flows through the resistor, the resulting voltage drop enters pin 5 of
connector P19/P19A of the power factor control circuit board. The power factor
control circuit board is a switching control oscillator circuit which boosts the input
voltage at pin 2 of the transformer T401 to 400Vdc. As the pulses are output at
pin 4 of connector P19/P19A, the transistors Q400~Q405 are switched On/Off
controlling the charge and discharge time of the inductor L401. The output
voltage is monitored via pin 11 of the connector P19/P19A. The resistor R548
adjusts the output voltage to 400Vdc. The 400Vdc output to pin 2 of the
transformer T401 subsequently enters the drain of transistor Q416.
32
Low Voltage Power supply
VCC and Start-up voltage for the low voltage power supply is provided to IC650
of the P5 Board by the standby power supply circuit (not shown). Upon start-up
of the switching control circuit, a pulse width modulated signal is output at pin 9
of connector P18/P18A to drive the switching transistor Q416. When Q416 is on,
current flows via the primary winding of transformer T401 and Q416. As current
flows through the transformer, energy is built up and stored in the transformer.
When Q416 turns off, the energy within the transformer begins to collapse. As
the field collapses, energy is released in the windings of the transformer to
provide the secondary voltages.
Voltage Regulation
The 13.5V source and the VDA source voltage levels are monitored by IC650 of
the P5 Board. A voltage increase of the 13.5V or an increase in the current flow
of the VDA source causes IC416 to conduct harder, allowing more current to flow
through the LED inside opto-coupler D432. This increases the conduction of the
transistor inside D432. Conversely, a decrease in the 13.5V supply voltage or a
decrease in the current flow of the Vda source decreases the conduction of
IC416. Any change in the conduction of IC416 is monitored by pin 10 of IC450.
As a result, the pulse width modulated output at pin 10 of IC650 adjusts to keep
the output level of the power supply constant. R545 is used to adjust Vda to the
proper voltage level.
33
High Voltage Power Supply
Figure 31
The P3-Board contains the drive voltage oscillator circuit that develops the Vsus
voltage needed to drive the Scan and Sustain boards. Operation begins with the
18Vdc supply being applied to pin 12 of connector P15. This voltage serves as
start up voltage for IC601. Q604, connected to pin 7 and 9 of the IC, provides
Oscillation control. The oscillator generates a trapezoid pulse that is input to a
PWM circuit (not shown) to control the output voltage. The PWM output at pin 2
of IC601 is applied to pin 2 and 3 of IC600. This IC is a wave driver that provides
two square wave outputs at opposite polarity. The two signals are then output to
the P1 board as H OUT at pin 1 and L OUT at pin 6 of connector P15.
Amplification of the two signals is performed the transistors Q407, Q408, Q409,
Q410 before being applied to the transformer T400. The output of the
transformer is provided to the SC-Board via pin 1 and 2 of the connector P2 and
to the SS board via Pins 2 and 3 of the connector P1.
Voltage feedback is provided via pin 8 of connector P16. This voltage enters pin
5 of IC601 for voltage regulation. R625 is used to set the output at the desired
level.
Note: The voltage level of the Vsus output is not mentioned because it is
different for each plasma display panel. This voltage level can be found on the
panel information label located on the heat sink of the panel.
34
Over-voltage protection (OVP) is provided via pin 6 of connector P16. This
voltage enters pin 4 of IC601 for immediate shutdown of the IC if the Vsus
voltage rises to an undesired level. The OVP feedback is also provided to the
system control circuit via pin 13 of connector P15 for immediate shutdown of the
entire unit.
The P7 (High Voltage Protector) and P8 (Low Voltage Protector) circuit boards
monitor the DC output of all power supply boards. If any of the inputs is higher
than the desired level, a DC level is output via the “SOS IN” line to pin 1 of
connector P16. The operation is the same as the OVP input at pin 6 of the
connector P16.
35
Protection Circuits
Figure 32
Protection circuits are incorporated in the unit to prevent the failure of a single
circuit or component from creating catastrophic damage.
The P7 and P8 boards are daughter boards on the P1 main power supply board.
The P7 board monitors the Vbk (195V), Vda (75V) and +17V supply voltages.
The voltages are fed through individual voltage dividers and the result is
compared to a 3.3V reference voltage by a comparator IC750. If any of the
voltages drop low, the comparator outputs a low triggering Q751. Q751 triggers
Q750 on, applying a high to pin 95 of the main CPU IC9351.
The circuitry on the P8 board monitors the plus and minus 13.5V lines used by
the audio circuit, the +5V line and another +13.5V line. If any of these supplies
were to drop, the comparator will output a low signal turning on Q776. Q776
conducts applying a high to pin 95 of the main CPU IC9351.
The four ventilation fans are monitored to be sure they are operating properly. If
one of the fans opens or increases resistance, the resulting current change is
applied to pin 98 of the main CPU.
The Scan and Sustain voltages on the SC and SS boards are monitored in a
similar manner. The +15V Line on the SS board is fed to a voltage divider and
36
the result is compared to a reference voltage. The reference voltage is provided
by a zener diode. If the output of the comparator goes high, Q6741 turns on
effectively grounding the SOS line. The SC board uses a similar circuit to monitor
the +17V line.
The SS and SC boards contain an LED indicator to alert the technician when a
problem exists. The LED should be lit during normal operation, a dark LED
indicates that a problem exists on that board.
